Reading Passage
In Sophia’s bedroom, there is a beautiful mirror above her bed. It’s a rectangular mirror with a decorative gold frame that adds a touch of elegance to the room. The mirror is securely mounted on the wall, right above the headboard, and it’s perfectly centered.
One of Sophia’s favorite features of the mirror is how it reflects sunlight during the day. The natural light bounces off the mirror, making the room feel brighter and more spacious. At night, the soft glow of the bedside lamp creates a warm reflection in the mirror.
The mirror’s placement was carefully chosen to complement the room’s modern design. It reflects not only light but also the artwork on the opposite wall, creating a balanced and visually pleasing effect. Sophia feels that the mirror is the perfect finishing touch to her cozy bedroom.
